Our trip to New Jersey

Last month we went up to New Jersey for a long weekend. Though it was for a somber occasion, a memorial service for Great-Pops, we had a great time visiting with everyone. All the young cousins and second-cousins had a blast playing together at the hotel.

Rest in peace Great-Pops. You will be missed 

Surgery went well

This morning we were at the hospital at 6:00 so I could have my adenoids removed. Mommy had been a nervous wreck for the past week, but she didn't have to worry because I'm a tough little girl. They started the procedure at 8, and mommy and daddy had to wait an hour before they could see me again. An hour after that, we were leaving the hospital, and then I was back home playing like nothing happened. Last year it was tubes in my years, this year adenoids removed, and hopefully next year it's nothing.
The hospital had a wagon for me to ride around in while we were waiting for my turn in the operating room.

I wanted a turn pulling the wagon-

I Love the Pool

It is so much fun going down to our pool. Mommy has been very patient with me. She has been wanting for me to swim around in the pool with her but until recently I've just wanted to sit on the steps and play with my toys. Not anymore! I love jumping off the edge into mommy's arms and swimming around. Each day that we go down there, I kick my legs more and more when I swim around. I've also gotten better at jumping from the edge. I was jumping straight up instead of out, which had mommy nervous that I would hit the edge. There were some close calls, but no accidents.

It was a fun 4th!

What a day it was. First, Aunt Whitney and Zach came up for four days. It was good to see them and spend time sight-seeing with them. I loved going to the water-park in the afternoon. It's a lot of fun running around the water-park. We all went out to eat in the evening and then mommy and I watched the fireworks from our rooftop.
